arXiv:2605.27583v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Electrocardiograms (ECGs) are widely used non-invasive measurements of cardiac activity and play a central role in clinical diagnosis. Recent multimodal approaches align ECG signals with clinical reports to incorporate diagnostic semantics, but clinical reports often fail to preserve the rich physiological structure of ECG waveforms, particularly across multiple levels of abstraction ranging from coarse diagnostic categories to fine-grained morphology. To address this limitation, we formulate ECG representation learning from an information-theore
This research leverages recent advancements in multimodal representation learning, applying them to critical medical diagnostic signals like ECGs.
Improving the interpretability and diagnostic accuracy of ECG analysis using AI can lead to earlier and more precise clinical interventions, impacting healthcare outcomes globally.
The ability to extract richer physiological structure from ECGs, beyond simple diagnostic categories, via information-theoretic approaches changes how AI systems can assist in cardiac assessment.

Enhanced diagnostic tools for cardiac conditions become more widely available and accurate.
This could reduce the burden on medical professionals and allow for more proactive health management.
The methodology might extend to other physiological signals, creating a new paradigm for AI-driven clinical diagnostics.
